Kids get lesson in heart health

Two-year-old Evan Ripple listens to his classmate Isaiah Bloom’s heartbeat with the help of Dr. Daniel Mauriello, a pediatric cardiologist. American Heart Association volunteer Dr. Daniel Mauriello visited the Early Childhood Center at Temple Beth-El in St. Petersburg recently to teach the children about heart health.

Dr. Mauriello is a pediatric cardiologist at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital and encouraged the children to get plenty of exercise, eat their fruits and vegetables, and also be kind to one another.
